is a short way of saying web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.
There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas to many
people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to
write their ideas and react to the ideas of others.
A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3,000 Web logs. It says that blogs are
most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives.
The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.
However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the
Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs.
And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.
At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer
closed his free blog service, weblogs.com. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the
blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it.
One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca"s Pocket. It involves much useful information for
readers. Rebecca Blood created the Web site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site.
That article led to a book called "The Weblog Handbook". It has been translated into four languages so
far.
Ms Blood says Rebecca"s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and
everything-politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how
to prevent people from stealing money from online bank accounts.
1. The text is written mainly to ____.
A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called "blog"
B. introduce a way of reading on blogs
C. tell readers about blogs
D. tell readers how to write blogs
2. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except ___.
A. different ideas
B. medical advice
C. advertisements
D. account codes
3. According to this passage , which of the following is NOT true?
A. Politicians don"t use blogs at all
B. A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogs
C. Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls
D. Dave Winer closed his "weblogs.com" because of money shortage
4. The reason why Rebecca"s Pocket is still going strong is that ____.

most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should
think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices
as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and
listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts
as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so
much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around
them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family
table.
Multitasking also affects young people"s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked
about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets on their performance of tasks, many young people
gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not
quite as positive.
Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later develop-ment of study skills.
They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers
feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have
made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
1. What does the underlined word "juggle" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Want to buy.
B. Take the place of.
C. Use at the same time.
D. Seek for information from.
2. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that ________.
A. family members do not eat at the family table.
B. family members do not greet each other.
C. young people live happily in their families
D. young people seldom talk with their family members
3. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. multitasking is harmful to young people"s development.
B. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.
C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.
D. Yong people must learn skills for future jobs.
4. The author develops the passage mainly by ________.
A. providing typical examples
B. following the natural time order
C. comparing opinions from different fields
D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects
Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of
guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
Body image is a person"s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 1 . You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.
2 . Here are some ideas:
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body
do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport.
That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have
non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting,
3 .
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques
(体形)don"t just happen. 4 . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour
three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits - regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and
skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on -can help you build a positive body image.
5 . Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all
the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.
A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you"re good at.
B. Be yourself.
C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.
F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?
people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can
bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man,
when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And
books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and
enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as
paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is
always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read
it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in
every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though
expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such
books as history books., science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from
time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your
favorite poets.
B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information
C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun
D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself
paragraph suggest?
B. Reading is still necessary today.
C. Reading is more fun than television.
D. Watching television doesn"t help reading.
B. A good dictionary should be kept in every home.
C. Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.
D. More people like TV programs about famous men.
significant role in the process of recovery from illness.
As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some
of the country"s most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the
hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100
now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.
These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a
Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place
in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.
A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What better place to
hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients
waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain"s first hospital artist,
Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.
The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of
fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering
from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number
of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.
1. According to the passage, "to soften the hard edges of modern buildings" means ___________.
A. to pull down hospital buildings
B. to decorate hospitals with art collections
C. to improve the quality of treatment in hospitals
D. to make the corners of hospital buildings round
2. According to Peter Senior, _______.
A. art is losing its audience in modern society
B. art galleries should be changed into hospitals
C. patients should be encouraged to learn painting
D. art should be encouraged in British hospitals
3. After the improvement of the hospital environment, patients may _______.
A. no longer need drugs in their recovery
B. no longer depend wholly on expensive drugs
C. need good-quality drugs in their recovery
D. use more pain killers in their recovery
4. The fact that six young art school graduates joined Peter shows that_______.
A. Peter"s enterprise is developing greatly
B. Peter Senior enjoys great popularity
C. they are talented hospital artists
D. the role of hospital environment is being recognized
industry.
Sources at the Beijing People"s Political Consultative Conference said resistance to home service
work is melting away from minds of the city"s laidoff workers. The Conference suggested the
establishment of municipal (市政的) centers which supervise property management, household mending
and installation, and house keeping services. Modern city life is creating a need for home services. This
will create job opportunities for laidoff workers, said vice director of the Social Judicial Committee of
the Conference.
Beijing residents have long desired a home service industry. The demand is expected to drive new
economic growth. There are few high quality home help services in Beijing and customers are always
complaining.
In the past, few laidoff workers worked as home helpers, jobs largely taken by young women from
the countryside. At the same time, some city residents have not felt safe trusting rural girls with modern
household machines or with their small children. Many people would pay more for reliable house keepers who are more familiar with city life, but they have had no way of getting one, even though the city is home
to thousands of laidoff workers.
By the end of June this year, there were 30,600 jobless workers in the city. Most of them are women
in their 40"s, who are not blessed with particular skills and who have had their work ethics shaped by the
planned economy. Many of them were at a loss when they first realized they had lost their jobs and a
way of life they had got used to for decades.
They never imagined being laidoff by state; they never considered other kinds of employment. For
them, the private sector (领域) meant taking risks; housekeeping implied lower social status. Gao
yunfang, 44, is a pioneer who is breaking the ice. She sells the Beijing Morning Post in the morning, and
works at two households in the afternoon. She earns 1,000 yuan per month.
So she no longer worries about her daughter"s tuition at a university in Shanghai.
1. What is talked about in the passage?
A. Home service.
B. Modern city life.
C. Laidoff workers.
D. Social status.
2. Why didn"t the laidoff workers like to do home services in the past?
A. Low salary.
B. Lower social status.
C. Dirty working condition.
D. Too much extra work.
3. Why were many laidoff workers at a loss?
A. Because they didn"t get used to the new way of life.
B. Because they are too old to find a new job.
C. Because they dislike being laid off.
D. Because they think they lost their social status.
3. In which ways is home service industry good for our society?
A. It meets the needs of modern life.
B. It provides work opportunities for the laidoff worker
C. It is a new industry.
D. A and B.
